Oracle VM VirtualBox: Ticket #8813: VBoxSVC locks up when Sprint USB EVDO is insearted.https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/8813
<p>
I have a USB EVDO (U301USB) from sprint:<br />
<a class="ext-link" href="http://support.sprint.com/support/device/Sprint/U301USB_Device_Sprint_3G4G_Mobile_Broadband-dvc1020001prd"><span class="icon"> </span>http://support.sprint.com/support/device/Sprint/U301USB_Device_Sprint_3G4G_Mobile_Broadband-dvc1020001prd</a><br />
<br />
If this device is plugged in to my laptop, all of virtualbox binaries exhibit a problem, they start up and then get stuck. It seems that they get stuck while initializing the COM service (vboxsvc.exe) because it gets into a strange state where you can't kill the process.<br />
For example, if I launch vboxmanage list vms, vboxmanage.exe process will start then kick off the COM service. Then vboxmanage.exe will get stuck and the vboxsvc.exe will become unter <br />
Opening <a class="wiki" href="https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/VirtualBox">VirtualBox</a>.exe GUI also doesn't work for the same reason.<br />
Once you are in that state, you cannot get out if it until the whole machine is rebooted.<br />
<br />
Even worse, if you unplug *any* USB device (like a mouse) while in that state, the host OS will blue screen with error IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL<br />
<br />
<br />
The only way to get a round this is by uninstalling the vboxusbmon service.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately I don't have any logs or crash dumps, however, I was able to reproduce the problem with a self compiled version of vbox 4.0.4 with debug. So I have the ability to test patches.<br />
</p>
<p>
Please let me know if you need any more information<br />
</p>
<p>
Thanks,<br />

if you can't kill win32 process then it's probably waiting on some I/O IRP with low-level driver...

OK, it seems like vboxmanage list usb will "eventually" return and not be stuck <strong>only</strong> if the sprint device is not connected. <br />
But I'm getting very strange results from vboxmanage list usb:<br />
When the device is inserted (not connected)<br />

<br />
And when the device is not inserted I get this following:<br />

Current State: Busy<br />
<br />
<br />
The strangness is that when the device is inserted, the name and manufacturer for the web cam show up!!! However, the manufacturer name seems to be some random characters CKF9139G132030000EJ0.<br />
<br />
